Step 1. Find the point, D, where those two lines intersect.
Step 2. Find the distance, d(A,D). The is the circum-radius.
Step 3. Write the equations of the two lines through A each of which is perpendicular to one of the given lines
Step 4. Find the points on the lines in step 3 where the circum-circle insects.
Step 5: Those points are B & C.
